STATE CONDEMNS HUNTLEY'S SANITARY DISPOSAL SYS
"Huntley's sanitary sewer is in¬ adequate to handle the needs of the 1150 people now living in Huntley," thus says the state board and sanitation. The problem lies in the disposal plant which was com- ppleted in 1950. When it was con¬ structed, Huntley had a population of 850 and the plant was built to ^ accommodate a population of 1000. This plus the additional fact that certain residents of the town have their gutters and old cisterns at¬ tached to the sanitary sewer in- steiid of the storm sewer, causes the back up and inadec,uacies ot our present sanitarj' disposal sys¬ tem.
Huntley has two sets of sewers. A sanitary sewer which Is used to handle all of the water from the bathrooms, kitchens, washing ma¬ chines, and many other dirty types of water which is used in the home besides a storm sewer which is for surface water from roofs, cisterns. The storm sewer by passes the dis¬ posal plant all together and l-:ads directly into the stream as shown in the diagram above. The sanitar>- sewer leads into the disposal plant and is processed through the system until the water is consid¬ ered free enough from bacteria not to pollute the stream. The dis¬ posal plant is divided into a num¬ ber of separate sections.
The first of the sections is the grinder. All sewerage pass through the grinder and any solid objects which might get clodded in the pipes or pumps ot th< disposal plant are ground up into little pieces to render them harmless. _
The only things which the grind¬ er will not break up are rags, steel, and tennis shoes. Large ob- jejcts such as there, however, are caught in a screen before they can do any damage to the machinery of the disposal i^ant.
The seweraige goes from the grinder to the pumps where it is Sanitary Sewer ...
